The Adventures of Being Me

Luthien ferret got poop on her fur so into the bathtub she went. My ferrets hate baths. Happy Memorial Day. I'm working and will take a walk around the lake park. Then came home to sunbathe in backyard. Ran into a roommate friend who thinks I'm cute. Hope I didn't overwhelm him in my bikini covered in baby oil. I'm not dating any of his homeless junkie friends.

The job I was praying to get just made an offer. More money than I need to just get by so hopefully I get these credit cards paid off. Now I have to turn down the other job I gal from high school offered. I will be an Accounting Clerk doing paperwork at a desk in an office. That will be a huge relief. They insist on 2 weeks notice so old job can have me for another week. Have to wait and see if they give me my unused vacation days. I need the money. Celebrated by walking around the lake park trail and buying a pizza. Roommate wanted to share it with all his visiting friends. My pizza was not that big. My hotel guests are figuring out I am the wrong person to argue with. I am leaving in 2 weeks so I don’t really care if guests hate me. Just because they think they are special doesn't mean they get free parking in the hotel garage. Room will be charged. My family went out to the cemeteries on Memorial Day while I slept in bed, then came to work. Yep, working all weekend (no h...

Ever meet someone determined to self-diagnose their personal problems and you are like: There's nothing wrong with you. Their problem is that they were set up to fail by whatever circumstances they had to deal with. So that left them vulnerable and falling through the cracks to grasp at anyone willing to catch them. That doesn't mean they are crazy. Believe me I know from experience. Luckily I had a Mom will willing to pay my bills otherwise I would be homeless like my roommate who has nobody else to help him get back on his feet. Family in another state refuse to help him. I knew him for months at my hotel as a security guard. He was a gentleman, protective of me, and reponsible person I never complained about at work. Yes, he took liberties and got caught in the Presidential Suite by the couple still in their wedding clothes I had to move into a Governor Suite with humble apologies that someone was having a party in their room. After he lost his job, he stayed with friend...

Nephew graduated high school today. No special awards, just a diploma. Got college set up and he has chosen forensic science as his major. He will have to quit his fast food job cause it is out of town. His sister apprently quit college after a semester or two, not sure when she quit but it wasn't for her. She went part time anyway. I told her she can always go back cause I met plenty of 30ish people going to college to get better paying jobs. She works at a consignment shop and wants to be a entrepreneur someday. She works part-time and doesn't pay rent to my sister so wonder what her future plans are, if she has any. Told family about my new job and hoping the last interview produces a job offer. Apparently my job offer announcement caused confusion. Ok, leaving for a job interview I received a job offer from an interview I did the week before. I am waiting to hear from the last interview. I don't know if my last interview will turn into a job offer or another rejec...

Thank you God. Went through a video interview for accounting clerk for a hotel. Immediately they wanted an in person interview. I said I was free the next day. Pays enough to get me out of debt so I badly want this job. It is in the back office so little customer service other than receiving direct bill/banquet deposit payments. Scammers are so funny. Get an email wanting to set an interview and never actually set a time for one. No, they call out of blue which makes me reject the call cause I don't know who is calling. Now, they email me telling me I am not a good fit for their company. How would you know when you never set up an interview with me? My goodness, God has a weird sense of humor. I am about to leave for my accounting clerk interview and I get a call from one of my past interviewers asking me to call them. That will have wait until I get back. Interview was strange with other people doing it cause interviewer got called away. They will let me know in a couple wee...

Always love how people threaten to call the corporate office or management when they get mad. Be My Guest! I have zero power over housekeeping and can't help we don't have shuttle service nor valet parking nor maintenance people present 24 hours a day/7 days a week. And I'm sorry we ran out of pillows, blankets, and towels when there are over 300 registered guests staying overnight. Hotel has 234 rooms. Have a great Mother's Day. I got to miss lunch with my siblings and mother. Then after waking up in the middle of the afternoon, I drove over to my Mom's Assisted Living apartment to give her a blank note card that I wrote "Happy Mother's Day" on. I'm so broke I can't afford to buy her a $5 card.

Got 2 more rejection emails. Did a phone interview for a receptionist job and then in person interview for an office assistant job so here's hoping. The manager was someone I went to school with so crossing fingers even though the pay is not as much as I need to get out of debt. My garbage disposal started leaking. I put a towel underneath. Roommate's friend who is a fix it guy looked at it and couldn't fix it. Seals were broken so I had to buy a new one. Friend installed it for me. My brother offered to install it, but the friend beat him to it. At least I didn't have to call a plumber again. Neighbor complained my plastic downspout extenders were cracked and water got into her garagae so had to buy new ones. In the event I have to sell my house cause I can't afford the increased mortgage payments (house value went up $30,000), I checked around for other housing possibilities. Cheaper houses are garbage and of course value will go up over the years where I get ...

Flipped the ceiling fans and turned on the air conditioning. Arranged another interview for a government office. When I saw the email, I screamed so loud I startled my roommate. No more newspaper delivery. I can't afford it. With 1 ferret, I don't use as much newspaper anymore. Got to go to bare necessities unless I get a better paying job. Poor Misty has been living under the sofa and pooping in a corner I have newspaper for the ferrets. I started placing food and water under the end table for her. Poor thing. Dog had been here for 2 weeks and I discover I have a visitor cat too. Roommate had been hiding cat in their room and when I opened the door to print a resume for my interview, cat stepped out the door. This is what I get for saying dog could stay for a week. I threatened to take the dog to the shelter cause it is way past the week I allowed. Roommate begged me not to do that cause girlfriend loves the dog so much and would crush her. She just has a dysfunctional f...
